3 Royal Challengers Bangalore players Chennai Super Kings can target in IPL Auction 2024
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will want to make a massive statement during the Indian Premier League (IPL) Auction 2024 in Dubai. The defending champions have INR 31.40 Crores ahead of the huge day on the 19th of December. MS Dhoni-led side has already released some big names like Ben Stokes and Kyle Jamieson.
Ahead of the upcoming auctions, CSK could be looking at three Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) players who could fit into the team perfectly. RCB have made some surprising choices as far as released players are concerned. Here we take a look at the three players from RCB that Chennai Super Kings will look to buy.
Harshal Patel –
The 33-year-old had a disappointing IPL 2023 season for RCB which saw him get released. Chennai Super Kings could swoop in to buy Harshal Patel during the IPL Auction 2024. MS Dhoni knows the value of Harshal Patel and his deceptive bowling. The right-arm-pacer can be a handful in the slow surfaces of Chennai with the ball towards the backend of the innings.
Sonu Yadav –
Young Sonu Yadav is a product of the TNPL and is a local Tamil Nadu lad. The 24-year-old is a decent medium pacer who can bowl tight lines and lengths and get key wickets. Chennai Super Kings management will love to buy Sonu Yadav just for the depth he is likely to give the team in the coming season. The youngster is also known to be a decent player with the bat and can score crucial runs towards the end of the innings.
Josh Hazlewood –
The Australian pacer was part of the Chennai Super Kings team which won the IPL in 2021. Josh Hazlewood played a key role for MS Dhoni and his side in helping win their 4th IPL title that year. There are question marks over Hazlewood’s likely participation in the early part of the tournament. Kasi Viswanathan though knows the value the veteran pacer brings to the table as they get ready for IPL Auction 2024.
